Step one: Make Grandpa help you wash and dry it.
Step two: Draw the face on it... with sharpie... which was probably not Grandpa's best idea of the night ;o)
Step three: Take the guts out.
Step four: Act completely disinterested in the cool sensory experience of pumpkin guts.
Step five: Watch Grandpa work his magic.
Step six: Continue to act disinterested in this amazingly fun fall tradition.
Step seven: Continue to take the guts out.
Step eight: Say "whoa" a bunch of times after the candle is lit.
Step nine: Try to come up with one more step so you have a good even ten steps... then give up and just embrace that there were really only eight. Or less ;o)
Happy Fall!
You forgot to call the stem part the pumpkin's "hat" - - she really liked that part!
ReplyDeleteI guess we should have taken a picture or two of Miss dis-interested Sassy-pants starting to yell at us b/c she wasn't getting any attention and she was sick of being in her seat for so stinkin' long! (could that have made a step 9 or 10?)
